Equium P300 - 16t power problems

My laptop Equium P300-16 t has suddenly stopped working. When it is connected, the power icon is always on view, but the battery icon has disappeared, and the battery icon when you press the power button flashes red for a few seconds before disappearing... it means I need a new battery?

I thought that the computer could work without the battery, if it was still not able to connect to a power supply via the power adapter? I just wanted to check before you buy a new battery, I don't want to spend £50 on something that is unnecessary, especially if I have to buy a new laptop.

Any help would be appreciated.

Hello

I don t think you need a new battery because the laptop should work without the battery only on the AC adapter.
I guess that this problem is related to the motherboard or components (RAM) on the motherboard.

Guess what? Try this:
Disconnect the power adapter and remove the battery.
Now press the power button / 30 sec long. Connect the two parts, then try to turn on the unit.
To be honest I m not sure if this would help you but it s worth a try

If this does not help, delete one of the RAM modules and test the device using a module in each slot, but in the worst case it is a motherboard problem, and this should be verified by a Toshiba ASP

  • Equium P300-190 power - free problem

    Hi all

    This is my first post here/first Toshiba number after owning my laptop for about 4 years!

    I have a big problem with my Equium p300-190, with a Li-ion battery.

    This morning, there seems to be a problem with my diet. The connection of the charger would change quickly load and then do not load per second or more.

    This continued all day until the computer turns off suddenly.
    Now even when the charger is connected, the lights on the front of the computer not able to save it as a laptop.

    Initially, I thought it was a charger problem, but the computer turns off when the power of 43%. I was wondering if someone can help me to determine if it is a battery problem or a problem of motherboard, as well as the suggested courses of action.

    Any help is really appreciated!

    > Now even when the charger is connected, the lights on the front of the computer not able to save it to the loading of the laptop.

    This means that the power LED and AC adapter LED don t light even if the AC adapter is plugged?

    In this case the new, good working AC adapter must be connected to verify if she s AC adapter or mobile phone related problem.

    Just FYI: I n t think that the problem is battery since the laptop should work fine with the AC adapter only. Even if the battery is removed and AC adapter connected, the laptop must turn on

    So either the AC adapter or portable s hardware problem.

  • Equium P300 - broken power supply

    Last summer, I bought the laptop above.
    He was in to be repaired twice for the same issue - broken power supply.
    Today the issue happened again so once more, end up with a useless laptop.

    I am so in anger that my computer is either defective or it is not be repaired correctly.

    Anyone know if this is a common problem?

    Broken power supply-> do you mean the power adapter or the power plug?

    However, I doubt that this is a common problem
    I think that it s simply no chance or maybe the technician has done something wrong, who knows.

    In your case it s highly recommended to contact the ASP guys again (which replaced this part in the past) and to clarify this issue

    Good luck

  • Windows Vista does not load on Equium P300-16t?

    Help!

    P300 for my daughter does not windows once a CF (containing only JPEG Images) flash memory card has been inserted into a USB port and removed when starting up.
    I get a windows error recovery page that says a recent hardware or software change is prevents the loading of windows.
    Two options are given 1. Repair launch 2. Start windows normally. Neither will launch windows.
    I can get the "safe mode" screen when I press F8 at startup upward. When I try to start in safe mode it hangs just after 10 seconds or more.
    I can access the BIOS screen by pressing F12 and default configuration value. Always not load Vista.

    I have lost the discs to restore that have been made on the first day, and there is data on the hard drive that has not been saved! So I hope that there is an easy solution for this.

    Hello

    I doubt you could disable in the BIOS.
    But you can check if a USB option in the BIOS that would help you to disable USB ports.

    Otherwise, you could try to reinstall the operating system by using the disk HARD recovery option.
    FIR this press F8, and then choose computer repair mu, then choose HDD Recovery.

    But this process will format the C partition and you lose the data that was stored on C

  • Equium P300-16 t - no power

    Hello...

    Not sure if anyone can help me out here?

    I have a Toshiba Equium P300-16t

    Initially when turned on, lights, dvd starts, 2 low beeps (which seems to do it on all laptops) then the screen turns on but would not go further?

    I left the power cable with the laptop off the battery when the battery is charged, press the power button, the button light, 2 seconds, goes off... Nothing else happens?

    Anyone know what may be the problem?
    Or if I can do something to make it work again.

    While the laptop seems to be starting, (lighting of the screen to the top) I tried a new screen, the same result, the new ram and hard disk, always the same result...

    Now without apparent reason, as I said, since the loaded battery, laptop don't even start? (I tried different batteries and without battery but still nothing?)

    Thank you very much in advance for any help anyone can offer.

    Kind regards.

    Deevie

    Hello

    I put t think the battery is the problem.
    If the AC adapter is plugged in the laptop must lights without the connected battery. You have tested the new RAM and the problem persists?
    Well, in this case, the motherboard may be defective or other part as CPU.

    It seems that the laptop can not pass the POST (power on self test) and in this case primarily the motherboard is default.

  • How to change the size of partitions on Equium P300-16 t

    I just bought a Toshiba Equium P300-16t.
    The Vista disk and the data disk are * + PREINSTALLED + * and have about 95 GB (50%) each.
    I want to re partition so that the Vista disk has a much higher percentage.

    If anyone can help?

    _David (UK) _

    Hi David

    This is a very simple procedure.

    First, you will need to access the disk management console.
    You will find the HARD drive and all partitions created on the HARD drive.

    You just need to reduce the size of the system (C) partition.
    The free space is available and you can add free space to another partition on the HARD drive.
    In this case, you must change the size of the second partition.

    I think this should help to change with sizes of partitions.

    According to your laptop can handle with 2 GB max but laptop also comes with 2 x 1 GB of RAM, and it should be 1 GB RAM with PA3512U-1M1G part number.

    Can you please tell me what brand are your 1 GB modules?

  • Equium P300-16 t - Chicony Webcam problem with Vista

    I have an Equium P300-16 t and when it is connected to the broadband router, everything is ok!

    However, when the use of the laptop wireless and with the help of MSN Messenger (with webcam running) it keeps freezing upwards and after a short period of time will continue to work, then keep freeze again--almost as the buffer continues in full and it is having to refresh

    There is a mention of this on the support pages that mentions KB934374 which is supposed to be part of the MS Vista SP1
    I installed this SP, but Ko in question is not part of it, and I can't seem to locate an individual download for this KB

    Hello

    After searching on Google for this KB, I found the 'hotfixshare' site, which includes this fix. The only thing is that you have to register on their forum, but it's the only thing...

    Later, you can download this hotfix and check if it works. I would say also allows you to download the latest webcam driver for your machine on the European driver download sites because they could possibly solve your problem.

  • Equium P300-19O does not start

    Could someone of you please advice me to solve this problem and resuscitate Equium P300-19O?

    > Could someone of you please advice me to solve this problem and resuscitate Equium P300-19O?
    You must understand the hat on this virtual path that nobody of can say for sure what is wrong there and we can only speculate on the potential problem.
    Who knows what's wrong there. Maybe there is a problem with electronic control gear.

    Unplug the power plug, remove the battery and leave it for a while. Try to start the laptop with AC power only.
    When you connect the AC power supply is LED on indicator system turned on?
    Is there a reaction when you press the power button / stop?

  • May not wake my Equium P300 from sleep mode

    My * Equium P300-16 t * not waking up from sleep mode.

    If I use Fn F3 I get the message enter sleep and from what I read by pressing the power button wake the machine upwards, but not in my case.

    I also tried the Power Options to automatically mode after a specific period, but once again I can't wake the machine and do a hard reboot.

    My OS is Vista Home Basic.

    Anyone offers advice on how to fix this please?

    Thank you

    > but again I can't wake the machine and do a hard reboot.

    Your BIOS is up to date?
    Otherwise, update the BIOS

    Also in my experience sleep mode issues could be caused by corrupted system, so new facility could help solve this problem too.
